Description

Name: rmT116609			Date: 01/29/2003


DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
com.sun.jdi.connect.ListeningConnector.attach() waits indefinitely for a connection. There doesn't seem to be any way to set a timeout or interrupt the wait. This makes it fairly dangerous to use in an integrated debugger. There
should be a way to set a timeout, instantly test for a connection, or interrupt from another thread, if such things are possible.

Currently we're using an AttachingConnector, but some users want to debug programs with I/O in a DOS shell (so it would not be possible to read the connection address).

EVALUATION It would be useful for an AttachingConnector's attach method to support a timeout argument. Additional a ListeningConnector's accept method could take a timeout argument. This will be examined in conjunction with 4287596. ###@###.### 2003-01-30 Complete timeout has been implemented for tiger. ###@###.### 2003-07-09
